GA WinterFest Today: The FIGB Benefit Party

Fire Island Gay Beach, RGF Estates and Master S&M Estates invite you to party with us to celebrate the Gay Archipelago Winter Festival 2013 at the festival main stage.
We have DJ Korvon Zaver Staheli spinning the tunes for you from 9am to 12pm SLT with host Coy Nolan who will be pleased to welcome you.

After the party we join the live performance of Jaynine Scarborough, sponsored by Essences & {S0NG} mainstores.

The donations and tips of the party will be forwarded to the Lefevre & Hernandoz Foundation for the Aids-Hilfe Essen e.V. as with previous events too.

I first misread this and thought that this event was at 9PM SLT and was sad to miss it, but now I know its at 9AM I most certainly will be there!

My sincere apologies to the organizers for the late publication.

The New Gazebo

After the ball at SP my lover Tomais took me to look at a gazebo. I fell in love with it immediately and have now set it up by the ice-skating area.

To get away from the cold we teleported to Tom's place, which is located at a milder latitude, and prepared our Holiday photo. I was able to follow part of the work-process when Tom shared his screen with me on Skype. 

 

It had been a long day so Tom tucked me in and put me to bed around 2AM (my local time). There are a couple of noteworthy things in the picture below...

A Man's Best Friend & Other Tinies

Millimina Approves!

I am studying my beautiful loved ones and trying to guess what is going on between them

Dimi & Mark Tarantello, DJ Sarco, Tomais and Millimina

Yesterdays SP Winter Ball took place in the beautiful ballroom that the amazing Jak Calcutt, SP Build Director, has set up in a magnificent castle over the Second Pride sim.

Jak must have had his little helper Karl Kalchek, SP Community Relations Director, polishing the floor for weeks. It was so shiny in fact that I was relieved that I did not go commando in my family tartan, which had been one of my clothing options for this illustrious evening.

Dej and I

Tomais and Guyke

My sister Millimina dropped in unannounced and unexpectedly to give Tomais the third degree. Both parties were extremely discreet, however Millimina later informed me that my chosen lover had been vetted and met with her approval. Jubilation!

Labors of Love

When the Much Honored Bock McMillan, laird of Southern Charm etc. etc., returned home yesterday evening after a 24-hour excursion to first life he was completely blown away, baffled and extremely excited, elated and exhilarated to see the work that his loved ones had been up to in his absence.

Southern Charm looked more beautiful than ever before. My loving family and friends had undertaken to perform some of the landscaping and winterizing on huge parts of the sim. Beautiful winter trees had been planted in many places, while the previous trees and plants had been lifted far into the skies.

I cried out with joy when I saw what they had achieved, and to be honest, I kept on yelling much of the evening as I noticed the details one after the other. Tears of happiness flooded my eyes repeatedly, but especially when I saw what they had around Ars' Memorial.

The hairs on my arms, legs, neck and back stood to attention most of the evening as I saw what my loving family had done. They know me and my tastes so well that I was completely overjoyed. I was much too happy to take many pictures, but I am using two were taken at my new ice skating pond (where the meadow used to be).

Thank you so much, my sweet darlings and lover, this was the most wonderful gift I could get. I cannot even imagine how I will ever be able to repay you.

And here is a bonus picture of Guykechen in snow.
